“An adult-only sanctuary perched on Crete's cliffs. Its design — a tasteful mix of stone, wood, and raw textures — echoes the ancient landscape it inhabits. A place to recharge and indulge with private plunge pools, a holistic spa, and dining that celebrates local flavours. The perfect relaxing stay.”

Arco Wellness Suites

High on a Cretan cliff overlooking the dazzling Aegean Sea, this adults-only hotel has views for days. Each of the 49 suites and villas has its own private plunge pool–carved into the surrounding rock or cantilevered dramatically over the cliff’s edge–and blends seamlessly into the island landscape.
